Let's solve each expression step by step using the
order of operations (PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, Addition and Subtraction from left to right).

Problem 1:
$$
(4^2 - 7 + (-9))^3 \div (2 \times 8)
$$
Step 1: Evaluate exponents and parentheses.
- $4^2 = 16$
- So inside the parentheses: $16 - 7 + (-9) = 9 - 9 = 0$
- Now: $(0)^3 = 0$
- Denominator: $2 \times 8 = 16$
Now divide:
$$
0 \div 16 = 0
$$
✔ Answer: 0

Problem 2:
$$
((-2) - 2^2) \times ((-3) + (-5)) \div ((-9) + 6)
$$
Step 1: Exponents first.
- $2^2 = 4$
- So: $(-2) - 4 = -6$
Next: $(-3) + (-5) = -8$
Then: $(-9) + 6 = -3$
Now substitute:
$$
(-6) \times (-8) \div (-3)
$$
Step 2: Multiplication and division from left to right.
- $(-6) \times (-8) = 48$
- $48 \div (-3) = -16$
✔ Answer: -16

Problem 3:
$$
(10 \div ((-7) - (-8))) \times (-10) + 8^2 + (-5)
$$
Step 1: Simplify inside innermost parentheses.
- $(-7) - (-8) = -7 + 8 = 1$
- So: $10 \div 1 = 10$
Now:
$$
10 \times (-10) + 8^2 + (-5)
$$
Step 2: Exponent: $8^2 = 64$
Now:
$$
10 \times (-10) = -100
$$
Now add:
$$
-100 + 64 + (-5) = -100 + 64 - 5 = -41
$$
✔ Answer: -41
---
Problem 4:
$$
((-9) + 9) \times 3 \div (8 - 5)^3 \div 4
$$
Step 1: Simplify parentheses.
- $(-9) + 9 = 0$
- $8 - 5 = 3$, so $3^3 = 27$
Now:
$$
0 \times 3 \div 27 \div 4
$$
Any number multiplied by 0 is 0:
$$
0 \div 27 \div 4 = 0
$$
✔ Answer: 0
---
Problem 5:
$$
(6 + (-5)) \div (8 - 7) \times (-3) + (-9)^2
$$
Step 1: Simplify parentheses.
- $6 + (-5) = 1$
- $8 - 7 = 1$
So:
$$
1 \div 1 \times (-3) + (-9)^2
$$
Step 2: Exponent: $(-9)^2 = 81$
Now do division and multiplication left to right:
- $1 \div 1 = 1$
- $1 \times (-3) = -3$
Now add:
$$
-3 + 81 = 78
$$
✔ Answer: 78
---
Problem 6:
$$
((-6) \times (10 - 2 + (-8))^3) \div 8^2
$$
Step 1: Simplify inside parentheses.
- $10 - 2 + (-8) = 8 - 8 = 0$
- So: $(0)^3 = 0$
Now:
$$
(-6) \times 0 = 0
$$
Then divide by $8^2 = 64$:
$$
0 \div 64 = 0
$$
✔ Answer: 0

3. $-41$
4. $0$
5. $78$
6. $0$
